[PATCH 4.4 049/210] dm thin metadata: dont issue prefetches if a transaction abort has failed
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Apr 10 2016 - 15:02:33 EST
4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2eae9e4489b4cf83213fa3bd508b5afca3f01780 upstream.
If a transaction abort has failed then we can no longer use the metadata
device. Typically this happens if the superblock is unreadable.
This fix addresses a crash seen during metadata device failure testing.
Fixes: 8a01a6af75 ("dm thin: prefetch missing metadata pages")
